Clon C-3850

No space anymore for more amps. I must offer diiferent amps. The problem is that the people have other listening habits. Boom boxes playing spotify and other ****...
Hifi is not up to date anymore...
On friday is another regulars' table in Münster. I will take my Goldmund clone, Supra II phonopre and one preamp with me...it is not far to walk from the parking area to the bar....
I hope we can hear many pieces of music and have some fun...i have to drive....only one beer 🙁

I will delete the output testpoint...its the same price...🙂

Gerbers with testpoint 🙂

My electronic knowlege is not big, but if i can get a correct schematic, i can make a pcb.
In this case i found the that the feedback tracks are rather far away from input. But i found a middle ground. Right in the middle of the pcb and gave them thicker tracks.🙂
I think "Mofi" thougt the same...dont know is "Mofi" a person oder comany.
Not all of his kits from Mofi are good. Beware of his JC2 clone bcause it is humming and has white noise.
This JC2 clone (first picture) sounds very good without hiss, hum and white noise. I have to test another board (second picture), need the transformators, but ordered....

Now a version with jumpers, 2,5 mm. With a femal connector you can decide which voltage you prefer. PCB/OPA will allow to use the regular voltage from the pcb. OPA/Ext will allow to use a different voltage.
I changend two resistor footprints from vertical to horizontal to get more space.
JST connectors will fit.

I am afraid there is no space for a second footprint at the transistors. But it is possible to choose TO126. A BC type will fit in TO126 too.
It is not enough to take the output transistors in TO126 ?
It is possible to change all transistor footprints, but perhaps i can everything draw new, because of different pinouts. Not easy, but possible i think.
Not this week...
I have to rest and other things i have to do... i want to hear my C3850 Clone with an amp now.

Here is the gerber zipfile, testpoints and JST connectors included.
